[. . . ] RM500 Rotary Mixer ® Cat® C15 Engine with ACERTTM Technology Gross Power (SAE J1995) at 2000 rpm Net Power (ISO 9249) at 2000 rpm Rotor Width Rotor Depth (maximum) 403 kW/548 hp 403 kW/548 hp 2438 mm 508 mm Operating Weight (with ROPS and cab) with universal rotor with combination rotor 28 410 kg 27 150 kg Productivity, Serviceability and Comfort in a Durable Package The new RM500 offers enhanced production capabilities, optimized performance, simplified service and exceptional operator comfort. C15 Engine with ACERTTM Technology ACERTTM Technology works at the point of combustion to optimize engine performance and provide low exhaust emissions. The C15 engine with ACERT Technology provides clean burning power. Electronically controlled on-demand variable speed cooling fan provides the lowest overall noise levels and high ambient operation capability. [. . . ] The machine operates at either maximum torque to propel the machine through the toughest conditions or a faster speed for moving around the job site. The propel lever and speed dial control infinitely variable machine speed. Equal hydraulic oil flow to each drive motor increases tractive effort in slippery conditions. 8 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 Caterpillar C15 Engine Electronic Control Modules Front Wheel Propel Pump Front Flow Divider Control Valve 5 Front Wheel Drive Motor 6 Rear Wheel Propel Pump 7 Rear Flow Divider Control Valve 8 Rear Wheel Drive Motor 7 All-Wheel-Drive A separate hydraulic pump provides hydraulic flow to large displacement motors on each wheel. The system propels the machine with full-time all-wheel drive. One pump is dedicated to drive the front wheels, while the second propel pump is dedicated to drive the rear wheels. Increased tractive effort for those tough soil or reclamation jobs. High torque large displacement motors on rear wheels makes this a true four-wheel drive machine. Tyres with an aggressive tread and large footprint propels the machine easily in the most severe applications. rotor Drive Maximum production with high reliability. A Caterpillar powershift transmission provides three rotor speeds for maximum performance in a variety of materials and cutting depths. A Cat powershift transmission drives the rotor and is sized to handle tough cutting and deep mixing. Rugged drive chains provide efficient, continuous power to the rotor. Three rotor speed selection provides maximum performance in a variety of materials and cutting depths. First speed is used primarily for pulverizing the material. Second and third rotor speeds can be used as blending or mixing passes. 3 1 2 4 5 6 1 Caterpillar C15 Engine 2 Transmission 3 Axle 4 Rotor 5 Rotor Drive Chains 6 Shear Disc 8 Mixing Chamber Mixing chamber is a heavy-duty hood with large volume to handle deep mixing. The mixing chamber allows the rotor to move independently so that the capacity of the chamber actually increases in deeper cuts to allow better material mixing. Total machine weight on rotor helps keep rotor steady in the cut for uniform depth control. Allows more precise sizing control when operating in the reverse direction. Side access doors enable quick and simple replacement of cutting tools on rotor ends. Hydraulic Front Door Heavy-duty front door is ideal for peak efficiency on soil stabilization, bio-remediation or mixing passes on asphalt reclamation. [. . . ] switch on operator's side console provides four steering modes.
